The Old Crown Public House

The Old Crown Public House dates from the mid-19th century. It is a public house with a single-depth, near-symmetrical front range, accompanied by a later 19th-century rear range extending to the right. A connecting early gabled stable or store block returns to the street front, and a former small enclosed yard has been filled with later buildings. The front of the building is constructed of painted rubble with ashlar quoins and stacks, featuring sixteen-pane sashes to the first floor and a broad three-pane pub window. A moulded cornice and heavy fluted consoles adorn the window and fascia. A pair of panelled doors are set within a plain opening. Each gable has an ashlar stack with a skirt and capping. A short length of ashlar wall, approximately 2 metres high, connects to a gabled wing with a sixteen-pane sash above a plank door. The main block returns to the left with two gables, one plain and one with two plain sashes above two sixteen-pane sashes. The interior retains significant original fabric, including original glazing and panelling to the vestibule and original joinery to the rear rooms. The stable block to the rear is also little-altered. The building holds group value as an example of a mid-19th century public house and associated structures.
